Twelve heavy snows will car pet the French Bread valley during tne coming winter and there will he 28 flurries, declares John Drake, Asheville's famous weather prophet and one tiYne wrestler of renow n. Drake is the exponent of the "ruling day" theory, says the Times, and claims that for the past 10 years he has been more accurate than the almanac in forcasting the weather in west ern North Carolina. The sage of Buncombe coun ty resents the attitude some folks m this state have taken about his predictions for the past year. Drake admits that he missed three months slightly, but is of the opinion that he should have credit for the other nine. It has been rumored around by the intellectuals of the com munity that Drake waits till the winter is half over, and then makes his predictions. This is unfair, the sage-wrestler points out, for the atmanacs commence with the first oi the year in their predictions. Besides, sa^s Drake, the ruling days are the first 12 of the year and how may any one prophesy on tins theory be fore the days are at hand? Among the incidents foretold i by the local observer in past years w ere the flood of 1916, the frightful winter of 1917-18, the } mild winter last year, and other ! peculiar weather conditions. The first signs of snow were] I observed October 28 iustpast.! This means, says Drake, that therewiiibe2S flurries during the cold season, T ne first snow to tad and lay on the ground came November 12. Tins means that there will be 12 heavy snows during the coming winter and early spHag. it may be remembered that Drake's forecast for this Novem ber mas "unsettled/' He has ! been come out so far in that I prediction.
